I tied the blocks and machine quilted the border. <\/p>\n<p>I used my Grandmother&#8217;s Singer treadle sewing machine to piece the blocks for this quilt. I have many fond memories of my Grandmother sewing on this machine. As a child I was allowed to play with all the fabric scraps left from the many clothing projects she made.
